Interface of Building Information Modeling and Blueprints on Construction Sites
2021
Master's thesis in Industrial economics and technology management (IND590) This Master’s thesis discloses the impact of Building Information Modeling (BIM) during the delivery phase of large-scale construction projects. The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is gradually adopting more digital solutions in the pursuit of increasing operational efficiency and becoming more sustainable. In this regard, it is expedient to investigate whether the new tools and processes that BIM entails can provide the on-site delivery team with a better foundation of blueprints than traditional 2D paper-based drawings. The study was conducted through qualitative methods with an analytica…

Hvordan kan bedrifter lykkes med produktinnovasjon i et volatilt marked?
2017
Masteroppgave industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse IND590 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Bakgrunnen for denne oppgaven er at GCE-NODE1 har sett at det er et behov for omstilling og nyskaping for bedrifter innen denne klyngen som stort sett representerer bedrifter med leveranser til oljesektoren. Mange av disse bedriftene har opplevd en markant nedgang i ordrer og omsetning. Det er derfor viktig å få svar på hvordan bedrifter kan skape konkurransefortrinn i et volatilt marked, noe vi mener produktinnovasjon kan bidra med i form av å skape nye produkter eller fornye eksisterende. Vi ønsker derfor å finne ut hvilke kapabiliteter som gjør bedrifter gode på produktinnovasjon i volatile markeder…

En studie av fagarbeiderens informasjonsbehov på byggeplass : En kvalitativ casestudie
2018
Masteroppgave industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse IND590 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Kontekst: Veidekke Agder bygger videregående skole i Tvedestrand, hvor det er gjort innkjøp av digitale verktøy som kan formidle informasjon til og fra fagarbeideren. Oppgaven omhandler gjennomføringen av en casestudie med utgangspunkt i lean-filosofi. Hensikten er at forutsetningene rundt skal effektiviseres og ikke fagarbeideren. Forskeren ønsker derfor å se hvordan fagarbeideren kan få sitt informasjonsbehov dekket, samtidig som at informasjonen ikke møter hindringer til og fra fagarbeideren. Metode: Det er blitt utført en kvalitativ casestudie, hvor data er blitt hentet gjennom Veidekke sine aktøre…

Master's thesis Industrial Economics and Technology Management IND590 - University of Agder 2018 In the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry projects are often temporary in nature and are often characterised as PBO project-based organisations. Each project chooses a number of strategies which makes up a project development model. Traditionally models have focused on transactional contracting between actors in the value chain which opens up the way, for sub-optimisation and risk aversion as the common challenges. In such circumstances, each actor has a different perception of the aim and the success of the project, and so try to find ways to take the lowest risk and gain…
